Building a completely new 4g64
Hi there some of you may have seen my previous post about my blown engine but I guess it might be helpful to someone if I make a post with details on my new build. I will try to keep it updated. Any advice is more than welcome...
HERE I START PULLING THE MOTOR.. it looks fine on the outside...timing didnt jump, actually it looked like nothing was wrong, even installed a pretty nice fuel pressure gauge cuz at first i tought my fuel pump just went out, but pressure was all fine

(spark plugs #3 on the right)all eaten.. It was after i checked the obvious and saw the spark plug #3 was beat when I decided to pull the whole motor out, it was obviously internal damage...
AS YOU CAN SEE THERE IS NO ONE IN #3....

It's crazy all the stuff for header wrap was over $100
I don't know if I should use this solid aluminum pulley because people say the oem pulley has rubber in it to absorb vibration goin to the crank and a solid one might cause crank damage plus I want my AC blasting and power steering workin all fine in traffic...this one shows you pretty well:(https://www.thegalantcenter.org/show...erdrive+pulley)....
(there is a few threads on here about that but more feedback is welcome)

Something even crazier.....a new oem crank pulley just like the one on the right from mitsu..$300 !!!
(the pulley on the left $30 from ebay)
I went to mitsu to pick up a few new parts i needed...pricey

AS FOR THAT UNDERDRIVE PULLEY...DEF NOT USING IT. I might actually look into getting my internals balanced as beam514 suggested but still not using it.that pulley is not worth the 10-15 extra hp i can go without i wanna go turbo anyway i dont need some sketchy pulley for power and fucking with my accessories. thats not something you really need on a street car for hp... so im goin with the stock one....but i also figured its a great ashtray after I pluggedup all the holes with foil
